Limited Charity Vow
One should give food, clothes, medicine, and other articles of its own possession to monks, nuns, and a pious person. The food offered should be pure and with reverence. One should not prepare any foods specially for monks because monks not allowed to have such foods.
Donating of one’s own food and articles to monks and others, provides an inner satisfaction and raises one’s consciousness to higher level. It also saves him from acquiring of more sins if he would have used the same for his nourishment, comfort and pleasure.
